Tell us a little about yourself:
I enjoy making teams, mostly based around an unorthodoxed Pokemon that have massive potential. For example, right now I am working on running a Trick Room team centered around Rampardos. It makes me happy when 3 rounds of Trick Room = 3 dead Pokemon.
However, many of my teams are hit-and-miss. I would like to learn solid fundamentals of team building from a tutor to remedy this problem. Hopefully from there, we will have a lot of fun exploring some nifty stuff in this metagame!

I have only been playing Pokemon for about 4~5 months, my highest score on PO is ~1300.

P/S I was skipped in the Round 62 and 63 selections; but missed out on the round 64 application.

I’ve lurked for a very, VERY long time on Smogon, but I’ve only been interacting with the community only recently. I can play the game well enough in OU, but my team building skills are pretty bad, and the only other tier I’ve touched was UU (my favourite tier) but I’m pretty bad at that too. I chose to learn OU though, because it’s a general tier, and I’m hoping I can bring the things I learned in OU (especially team building) down to UU.

Although I have just over 25 posts, I’ll still say why I should be tutored (because it kinda seems like I just made 25 random posts so I could get in lol). The reason why I don’t have many posts is because I don’t know much about the metagame, so I can’t contribute much.

Lavos Spawn has agreed to tutor me, if he becomes a tutor.

Tell us a little about yourself: I'm a computer science student, gamer, musician, auto mechanic, and long time lurker on the forums (I just looked at my join date and total posts, all I can say is wow). My favorite movie is The Terminator, fave TV show is Battlestar Galactica (something about robots that look like humans must resonate with me), my favorite book is Dune, and favorite band is Tenacious D.

I don't have much forum contribution as of right now, but my participation with the site includes reading the competitive pokedex entries and other articles, and I'm a fan of CAP and the funny articles from The Smog (Charizard is not a good meta pick). I'd like to learn a metagame in order to be able to enjoy playing with more success like everyone else, as opposed to throwing my favorite pokes together and watching them burn. Also, a tutor would be a great avenue into the community and a leg up on the learning curve.

I have less than 25 posts. :( - I don't believe that posts = activity. To be honest, there are some people on this website who only post for tournaments and are still active. I'm waiting until I become a better battler before I start posting on this website more and begin to contribute.Delko agreed to tutor me.

Tell us a little about yourself: I live in Palo Alto, and when I'm not playing Pokemon, I'm probably sleeping, eating, or doing community service, or in school.
I started playing when one of my older friends invited me to "rape his Pikachu" on his Ruby (he tricked me into thinking rape meant train; I was in 2nd grade at the time), and ever since then, I've been playing a lot. I kinda stopped playing for a while because I finished everything there was to do in Diamond and Platinum, and only recently started playing competitively. I love making teams, but I stink at it.

The 25 posts thing: I only really sign up on forums to read threads and post whenever I have a really important thing to say, or something I really want to do (like a tourney or this), and I generally lack something I can contribute that someone else has already mentioned, so I have a real lack of posts. I want to join this program cause I am vastly superior to anybody I know that actually plays competitively (if you know someone who plays in Palo Alto, I would love it if you directed me to this person's Pal Pad), and others that just play pokemon either hack candies or think "hand training" is the best way to train, resulting in either EV spreads of 0 HP/ 0 Atk/ 0 Def/ 0 SpA/ 0 SpD/ 0 Spe or 67 HP/ 1 Atk/ and I don't even know what else. But if I try to play on Wi-Fi, I seem to find myself dominated, and on simulators as well. Therefore, (I believe) this program will at least help me get a bit better so I can attempt to play on Wi-Fi.

Tell us a little about yourself: Since Gen 1 I have been an avid fan of the series but could never break through from casual to competitive. Every attempt I made to play the meta game has resulted in failure. I know all pokemon's types by heart, their general strategy, their stat splits, and coverage. I have made countless teams, all have failed miserably. Even when I use other people's teams, known for winning hundreds of fights, I still lose. I'm sick of losing, I'm sick of failure. I want to be good at this game. I want to win.

I did not participate in previous rounds. This is my first attempt at obtaining a tutor.
Reason for less than 25 posts: I am new here. I have been on Pokemon Showdown for a while, but my record is so poor I had to remake a new account...which now also has a bad record. When I go into a fight I want to actually feel like I have a chance to win instead of knowing I'm doomed because of something simple like calm minding latios.

Aside from pokemon, I love to play ping pong and swimming. I feel as though a strong tutor can be a plus for me since BW2 was released.

Reason to be tutored (under 25 posts): I have been contributing to many charity organizations which have hindered my availability on smogon. However, I have taken a break for a while which has opened up my availability to be tutored/more active on smogon. I will be a strong candidate for a tutee and I feel that I absorb a lot of information, especially pertaining to pokemon. I have also been skipped twice in the last two tutor sign ups if it matters for anything.

I am slowly getting better on my own but other than that, I kinda fail at Pokemon XD. I really like playing Pokemon, been playing since Gen II, but I've played all the Gen I games, I play some MTG now and again. Let's see, I really like singing, acting, listening to music, hanging out with friends and playing tennis. I did play on Shoddy, but got continuously worse with the introduction of 5th gen.

Less than 25 Posts: Well my reason is kind of as good as the next guy's...I like to look at all the RMTs (only OU) and borrow ideas from them, but I don't feel like I'm advanced or smart enough to properly make any appropriate rates on the RMTs due to my lack of knowledge on the subject. I feel like I'm pretty easy to teach and would be very grateful if I got tutored :D

Tell us a little about yourself: I grew up playing Pokemon. One of the ladies my mom worked with game me an old copy of Pokemon Blue and that was my first game. I have recently gotten back into Pokemon, and decided to try out competitive battling. I immediately hopped into UU. I have had some help from friends, but i look to broaden my "skill" I'll call it. I would be honored to be chosen but either way thank you for considering. (Sorry for late entry, thought it ended the 25th )

Less Than 25 Posts: I've been here for a month or two, and I'm not the smartest when it comes to giving Pokemon advice, so i guess im trying to say i don't wanna give bad advice and end up looking like an idiot.

Tell us a little about yourself: Hey, I'm Daiko and I've been playing Pokemon since it first started. I've loved the games ever since first choosing Charmander! Began my Online battling around early D/P and was playing until just before B/W before just going back to the normal game and ignoring any multiplayer aspect. Downloaded Pokemon Online a while back and just kept playing at it, but could never make a team that was both enjoyable to use and was fairly effective.

I've not got 25 Posts due to the fact that my knowledge of the Online Features is nowhere near enough to put up a decent point and then argue my case.. Also, none of my teams were anything special so I didn't really think I should put up a RMT..

Was meant to be Tutored last round but nothing happened with my Tutor.
